This WW2 era allied minesweeper was carefully recreated for SL using actual blueprints.
It features scripted propellers, scripted searchlight, and working doors. The whole ship is just 56 prims including a realistic sculpted custom 75mm gun and sculpted mast rigging.
Upon purchase you receive all the 4 original ships of this class with their specific side markings. Each ship comes with accurate Polish naval flags used in WW2.
The Jaskółka was a class of originally 4 minelayers/mineswepers designed and built by Poland in the mid 1930s. These were the ORP Jaskółka, ORP Mewa, ORP Rybitwa and ORP Czajka (ORP stands for "Warship of the Polish republic).
The class was so sucessfull that in the late 30s two more ships of this class - ORP Żuraw and ORP Czapla were constructed.
The ships, despite their small size, conducted sucessfull operations in the Baltic in 1939, against overwhelming German air and naval superiority. They conducted minelaying operations, provided anti-air support for larger vessels and even nightime ground support missions.
Only two ships of this class, the Jaskółka and Czapla were sunk, the other 4 were captured by Germany after the surrender of polish forces in the Baltic. All 4 survived the war, and later went on to serve in the Polish People's Navy.
In 1952, the crew of the ORP Żuraw defected to Sweden with their ship, thus escaping from the soviet-controlled totalitarian stalinist regime in Poland.
NOTE: This is version 1.3. This fixes the "omg that sculpt is a giant torus!" bug introduced by LL remoivng phantom child scripts.
If you own an earlier version that was broken by the changes introduced by LL to phantom child scripts, please contatc me and I'll send you an updated version for free.

Not bad.
The torus thing is still a minor issue, HOWEVER all you have to do is set the toruses to be sculpties and this fixes them. (Thankfully, this build is fully editable.) Now, admittedly these ARE primarily decorative, but they still are very good decorations. They have the smallest LI compared to literally any other realistic-styled warship I've seen in SL (the next smallest is a drivable torpedo boat that is very downscaled compared to real examples) and these builds are decently small if space is an issue.
I also imagine some competent scripting - or even pulling from a different warship build - could make these fully drivable, but that's up to you.
Disgusting!
The build has an issue with the sculpts turning into torus when linked. Despite this being a known issue in secondlife the content creator still has the audacity to charge L$425 for a broken product.
Not scripted, no sit poses
It's just a decoration for your harbour.
Nice!)
Very nice and good ship)
Need more interier :)
Thanks
